NCAA dishes out penalties against Southeast

New 6.18.08

Southeast has formally been penalized by the NCAA for major and secondary violations in its women's and men’s basketball program, the NCAA announced today.

Penalties for the violations, including those self-imposed by the institution, include two years of probation, reduction in recruiting, forfeiture of wins, financial penalties and reduction in the number of scholarships.

The penalties stem from a lengthy investigation of recruiting violations in the women’s basketball program, primarily involving improper housing, transportation and meals for prospective athletes. More violations involved men’s basketball athletes and impermissible travel expenses. The NCAA also cited a lack of institutional control for the university and its failure to monitor by the former women’s basketball coach B.J. Smith.

Among the actions taken by the NCAA and self-imposed actions announced by the school:

  • Public reprimand and censure.
  • Two years of probation from June 18, 2008, to June 17, 2010.
  • Reduction of women’s basketball scholarships in the 2006-07 academic year from 15 to 12.
  • Loss of all wins in which ineligible athletes competed during the 2004-'05 and 2005-'06 women’s basketball season. The team's appearance in the 2006 NCAA Division I national tournament will be nullified and its banners removed.
